Exodus 36
36
1Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.
2And when Moses had called them, and every skilful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,
3He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.
4Whereupon the workmen, being constrained to come,
5Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
6Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier's voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,
7Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.
8And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering.
9The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.
10And he joined five curtains one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.
11He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner:
12That the loops might meet one against another, and might be joined each with the other.
13Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.
14He made also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle.
15One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.
16Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
17And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.
18And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together: that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
19He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams' skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.
20He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
21The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.
22There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
24With forty sockets of silver. Two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.
25At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards,
26With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
27But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards.
28And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
29Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:
30So there were in all eight boards: and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
31He made also bars of setim wood: five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle:
32And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.
33He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.
34And the board-works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.
35He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
36And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.
37He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.
38And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.

Exodus 36
36
1 And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone who is skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary—they will do it, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”
Making the Tabernacle
2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it. 3And they took from Moses all the contributions#Hebrew “contribution” that the Israelites#Literally “sons/children of Israel” had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings every morning.#Literally “in the morning in the morning” 4And all the skilled workers who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came, each#Literally “man man” from his work that they were doing. 5And they said to Moses, saying, “The people are bringing more#Literally “making much to bring” than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”#Literally “to do it” 6And Moses commanded, and they proclaimed the message#Literally “caused a voice to cross through” in the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution.” And so the people were restrained from bringing. 7And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.
8And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman. 9The length of the one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measurement was for all the curtains. 10And he joined five of the curtains one to another,#Literally “one to one” and five curtains he joined one to another.#Literally “one to one” 11And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; so he did on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. 12He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite#Or “interlinked” or “matching” one to another.#Literally “one to one” 13And he made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains one to another#Literally “one to one” with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was one.
14And he made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made them eleven curtains. 15The length of the one curtain was thirty cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measure was for the eleven curtains. 16And he joined five curtains together and six curtains together. 17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set. 18And he made fifty bronze clasps for joining the tent to become one.
19And he made a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skin and a covering of fine leather to go above.
20And he made the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the tabernacle of acacia wood as uprights.#Literally “standing” 21The length of the frame#Or “board” or “plank” was ten cubits, and the width of the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” was one and a half cubits. 22He made two pegs#Literally “hands” for the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” for joining one to another#Literally “one to one” and likewise for all the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” of the tabernacle. 23And he made the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the tabernacle with twenty frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the south#Or “southward southward” side. 24And he made forty silver bases under the twenty frames,#Or “boards” or “planks” with two bases under the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” for its two pegs#Literally “hands” and two bases under the next#Literally “one” frame#Or “board” or “plank” for its two pegs.#Literally “hands” 25And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames#Or “boards” or “planks” 26and their forty silver bases, with two bases under the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” and two bases under the next#Literally “one” frame.#Or “board” or “plank”
27And for the rear of the tabernacle on the west#Or “westward,” literally “seaward,” toward the Mediterranean Sea he made six frames.#Or “boards” or “planks” 28And he made two frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the tabernacle corners at the rear. 29And they were double at the bottom, and they were completely together on its top to the one ring; he did likewise for the two of them, for the two corners. 30And there were eight frames#Or “boards” or “planks” and their sixteen silver bases, two bases, two bases under the one frame.#Or “board” or “plank”
31And he made five bars of acacia wood for the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” on the one side of the tabernacle, 32and five bars for the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” at the rear on the west.#Or “westward,” literally “seaward,” toward the Mediterranean Sea 33And he made the middle bar to run in the midst of the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” from end to end. 34And he overlaid the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” with gold, and he made their rings of gold as holders#Literally “houses” for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold. 35And he made the curtain of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of a craftsman; he made it with cherubim. 36And he made for it four acacia pillars, and he overlaid them with gold, with their gold hooks, and he cast for them four silver bases.
37And he made for the entrance of the tent a screen of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, 38and the five pillars and their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their connections with gold, and their five bases were bronze.
